it was friday, september 2. i had a long day of school and then what felt like even longer practice. the night went by nice and slow and very relaxing. i first went to her house so that she could shower and ask her mom if she could hang out with me. then i went home to my house with her. i took my quick shower while she talked to my parents. we ended up watching twister in my movie. but she had to be home by 10. so as we wrapped up the night, we left my house and she was yelling thank u to my parents and everything. and we got in our car and drove off to her house. after i got out of the neighborhood, it was completely dark around us other than my headlights. i pushed the buttun to roll up my window, and pressed the power buttun off on the radio. and i remember she laughed and i said "so". and i asked her..."do you think ur ready for the next step." without any hesitation, she said yes. so that was the point that started to get nervous. i kissed her hand, and went for a second opinion..."be honest with me, do u think ur ready?" and she said, "i really do think i am ready." then i got even more nervous. no butterflies, no fear, just like excitment. and i said..."soooo." she laughed and i said, "what would u think if i was ur boyfriend and u were my girlfriend." she laughed a little more and mumbled "sounds good to me." so i kissed her hand and looked her in eyes, still watching where i was driving, and i said..."so will u be my girlfriend?" and she laughed and again and said "sure." so i laughed and i kissed her hand and all my excitement just rushed through me. she was excited too i could tell. and i walked her to the door and said hi to her sister and that was that. i left her house and drove home, cranking my music up loud and pumping my fist. im the luckiest guy in the world.
